As expected, defensive lineman Nick Fairley renewed his commitment to Auburn today during a ceremony at his high school.

After failing to qualify academically after graduating from Mobile's Williamson High in 2007, Fairley enrolled in Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss. He hopes to arrive at Auburn in January of 2009 with three years of eligibility remaining.

"It was real exciting to come home to do this in front of my friends and family," Fairley said. "I just went to get in shape, get my footwork down and get ready to go the Plains."
